Ezekiel 30:17

Place whose young men were to fall by the sword and others be carried into captivity, mentioned in the judgment of God upon Egypt (Ezek. 30:17¹⁷The young men of Aven and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity. (Ezekiel 30:17)). Judged to be the city Bubastis on the west bank of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile. Its ruins at Tell Basta, 30° 35' N, 31° 30' E, attest its ancient grandeur; pieces of the finest red granite are there, which apparently formed part of a temple.
